CAT-b4_50s-0024

This vintage postcard features a mother cat and five kittens gathered around an engraved, lidded basket. The kittens appear fluffy and long-haired, possibly a Persian mix, with one lying down in front and two sitting up.
The card is part of the "Cat Studies" series by photographer Charles Reid. The particular image is titled "On Guard". The handwriting on the right side indicates a message with "Kind regards", "best wishes", and a date of "19/10/04" (October 19, 1904), placing the postcard's origin in the very early 20th century, during the Edwardian "Golden Age" of postcards.
